Why plan ahead?
Most of us plan for the possible, the potential misfortunes of life that seldom actually happen. Why not gain some peace of mind by planning for the inevitable - your final expenses? You’ll get the peace of mind that comes with planning ahead, and your family will be saved the financial burden when you’re gone. Last year alone, more than one million people planned and funded their final expenses ahead of time.
Planning ahead may also be an important part of estate planning or preparing to apply for Medicaid or SSI benefits.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know that this is taken care of today, before the need arises, and with the support of those you love?

The benefits of planning a funeral in advance include:
Removes the emotional and financial burden, so family members won’t have to wonder, “Did we do the right thing?” or not have the services they want because of limited funds.
Allows you to control your own arrangements, to truly reflect your faith, your values, and who you are.
Organizes your family data so your family won’t have to worry about locating vital information at a time of sorrow.
Passes on the gift of peace of mind to your family - saving them from the potential conflicts that arise in times of stress.
When your journey is interrupted
80% of American adults take an overnight trip 100 miles or more away from home at least once per year. If your travels are interrupted by an unexpected death, what would you do? The cost of transporting a loved one home can easily run from $1,500 to well over $15,000, not to mention the emotional “cost” just trying to navigate the logistics of returning a deceased loved one safely home.
Our Transportation & Relocation Protection Plan (TRPP) provides this peace of mind. The benefits of a TRPP include:
Return of your remains if you’re 75 miles or more away from your legal residence at the time of your death.
Help for your family in finding a local funeral home or mortuary to care for you in the vicinity of your place of death.
Organization of all required documents, including customs and diplomatic documents, anywhere in the world.
Rigorous management of your relocation, ensuring peace of mind for those you leave behind.
